A number of our friends and relations have died recently, but they live on within us....

This seems to have affected me personally. Ever since a funeral a few months ago I have gone 'quiet' in terms of my inspiration for photography. It is coming back to me, but shows me how intimate an art photography really is, and how linked it is to the soul.

This is a reload with slight improvement. Sorry if you commented on the original and I deleted it!

Wow, Luis! Thanks so much for your super-fast and super-nice comments on my shots! You have a lot of energy!! I try to keep up with my friends, but unfortunately I never have the time these days..... Take care, my friend.. Omar

The lighting, tones and the tomb stones in the background are very dramatic.... I know what do you mean my friend. We all lose our beloved ones, that's life... we should pray for them and God for His blessings. Thanx for sharing Omar, waiting for your photos my friend, Khaled.

Hi Stefan, Thanks for stopping by.. You were right, I was trying to figour out how to get rid of the placard without loksing the moment. not much I could do in the end.. Thanks for your sympaties and comment.. Omar

Sorry for your losses Omar - your inspiration will come back renewed. This has the look of an early Bergman movie to me. A little ambivalent about showing the sign on the bench (as were you apparently :-)
